CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS.
The Monument Committee VIE
Come 90 see fIse People.

General John r. Cooke, chairman of
the General Committee of Arrange
ments for the Lee-monument celebra-
ton, said yesterday that they we're
steadily advancing in their prepare
tons for the cornerstone laying, and
that it seemed certain there would be a
great and successful demonstration.
"As TO money matters SAID he, "they
are III the hands Of a very competent
committee OF gentlemen, and it is their
purpose to call upon all the business
men and ask for contributions.
1t now seems not impossible that the
City Council will vote s., 600 to tine cele-
bration but even should they do this
more will be needed, and it will have
to come from the private purses Of citi-
zens.
The Common Councils resolution re-
felIod to the Finance Committee named
$4,000. In committee, on motion of
Mr. Owen, the figures were changed TO
$1,000, and it was agreed that it be
offered as an original proposition in
the Board 10y Mr.. Hardgroye to-
morrow evening. 1t takes a two
thirds vote of the Board to pass it.
That gotten, but majority of the Com
mon Council is required to concur and
send The resolution to the Mayor for
his approval.

TIE 0TLEY TELEGRAM
IS TIE LoEG.CoNrINUED INvgsTIaA-
TON A" PIzZLEr OR E0ri
Time that the Case was Being Brought
to Head or Dropped into
Oblivion.

1t does not seem possible that there
will be any prosecution begun in the
matter Of the Otley forged telegram
1t is almost certain that the courts here
have no jurisdiction, and it is not likely
that the Washington authorities will
care TO bother with SO small matter:
So it appears that unless the Board
of Aldermen choose to order an inyes-
tigation the long-promised expose will
be deferred to an indefinite date.
THE CASE.
The evidence secured goes to show
that the telegram was written by a
Richmond man in a remote district
telegraph Office in Washington. The
design was to draw Mr.. Otley from
Richmond TO Washington IN pursuit OF
fictitious business, so that he should
not be present when the aldermen met
that evening. 1t succeeded. He left
the city, went to Washington, and
found that he was hoaxed. Experts
identify the handwriting, but the party
in question can, it is claimed, produce
witnesses-numbers OF them-to de-
monstmtc that he was in Richmond on
that day.
The telegram was handed in at the
counter in Washington about 10 a. NJ,
and was received mere about IL or y.
now,
so far as the Dispatch can learn, Mr..
Witt and the police officers and Mr..
Wren have done their duty in this mat
ter and if they cant proceed further
il isn't their fault, but il they are I'M
able to advance they should officially
inform the Mayor-he is the head OF
the city coyerLment-and thus give
him and the board field for action.
Such q communication made in
writing to the Mayer, and by the
Mayor Transmitted to the board, would
compel that body to take action. Here,
it is alleged, was a deliberate conspira-
cy to defraud Mr.. Otlcy OF his vote on
the Iizzini resolution, and the board
has done nothing to yindicate its Dig
nifty. Perhaps it felt that it could not
consistently move when the law officers
Of the Commonwealth had the matter
in hand. If so, the course here sug-
geFted would relieve them of any en-
barrassmcnt on that score; and if the
board, being so informed, refused to
act, then the whole matter could be
buried in the grave of unsolyed Rich
mOLd mysteries.

OF two exceptions, lower than in 1885.

mostly during the last quarter OF the
